"What if Mary Magdalene, as the legends tell, really did spend the last 30 years of her life in the South of France preaching the Gospel she received intimately from Jesus’ lips? Cynthia Ploski traveled to France with her friend Karol Teiko to find out. Joining a British tour guide and an Australian tourist, they followed the Magdalene’s trail through Provence and Languedoc. üüThis is the story of true adventures awaiting them in the shadows of the Magdalene-- the Black Madonna, powerful Holy Feminine. Her trail led through tangled strands of early Christianity, into caves and bastions of Cathar “heretics,” the continuing mystery of Rennes-le-Château, and a wealth of esoteric revelations and mystical experiences.üüBeginning each chapter, the voice of the Magdalene herself is heard as she recounts the story of her miraculous last few days of life in a cave."
